  Drawn to Pontiac - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By clbsrodd - November 5 - 12:26 pm

  Was always drawn to the style of the car so I had to have one. I am only the second owner of this 01 GTP SE and I love it. Just purchased the car less than a month ago with 85k miles. Was a very well maintained car so I was very lucky to find it. Great daily driver with plenty of power from the super charger with out using much gas. No complaints from me.

  GREAT CAR!! - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By zkjsfbdkws894 - October 15 - 11:36 pm

  This car is great! The car is very well constructed. I recently got this car as my first car and I wouldnt take anything else. Its pretty fast for being 13 years old and that 3800 Series II engine is a beast. My car personally has trouble starting and the key gets stuck in the ignition. i know the key getting stuck in the ignition is a common problem, but if this happens, there is a hole (you may need to remove a little plastic cover) under where you would insert the key on the steering column. You just use a pen or something, push in the little knob and you can remove the key. There are some websites or videos telling you how to. But this is a great car and would recommend to people!

  Great Car 3rd Grand Prix - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Caselynn - September 19 - 1:26 pm

  This is the third grand prix I have owned, and I must say I have NO complaints! I have had only small problems, the switch on the fan only works at 3+, and the light on the radio doesnt light up. I get 30 mpg on highway, and 26 in town. I have a lifter tapping which is annoying but not serious. It always runs and drives and I am at 160,000 miles so far. I had a 94 SE which made it to 250,000, and I drove my 98 GT to 180,000 with only a minor oil leak when I sold it. I love this car and I am impressed, I have owned many others but keep coming back to Pontiac.

  not bad - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By bboss - August 24 - 10:00 am

  the handling of the grand prix is choice. it handles the best out of the cars i have owned in the past. the 2001 to 2003s have the best design out of the grand prix, it looks sporty and acts it too. the fuel mileage is not the best i average only 22mpg with highway and city driving, my ford explorer gets that, and that has four wheel drive. other then that, it is a great choice!

  Car Needs A Major Recall!!! - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Agitated - July 3 - 4:56 pm

  Purchased brand new! First, my tires did not last anytime-they were "chopped up" to quote the dealer and I had all the scheduled maintenence. The valves had to be replaced and the transmission has not been the same-I expect it to go out anytime! Goofy things inside have gone wrong, the controller for the windows had to be replaced, the strip on the driver side window broke, among other things. The cruise control only works part of the time and the accelerator for it never works. This week my passenger tie rod had to be replaced and universal joint is going out! You pretty much name it, and Ive had problems with this car. I love driving this car, but its a pile of junk! CurrentlyCarShopping

  deeply irritated - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By irritated - June 28 - 12:03 pm

  We bought this car after trading in a xcab f150 ford truck,which i loved. But owning two trucks was not fuel wise! After looking for a better gas milage vehicle, but still didnt want a "granny car", this sporty looking car caught our eyes! The car has every option including a moonroof, except leather interior,i don"t like leather. The seats are horribly uncomfortable, especially the passengers.Drink holders are a joke!! Oh!!! Let"s don"t forget that great transmisssion. They"re so great i have to have it replaced for the "4th", i said "forth", time.This is not a car to keep. After 58,000 miles,trans went out, again at 82,000 miles, but returned witin days for more repairs! And now at 88.000

  2001 Pontaic Gran Prix GT Coupe - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By Jayramos - May 14 - 10:00 am

  This car has been the best GM car I had in the past 12 years. It has been reliable and well designed - young yet looks good on a 40 year old-LOL. Although the minor interior noises annoy me now & then - it is a fun car to drive & have.

  Fun car, hindered by GM - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By braindeadunit - May 6 - 5:42 am

  The 3.8L makes this a pretty fun car to drive, however, as a GM "cookie cutter" car, it suffers from subpar engineering and build quality. Panels like to fall off, something that couldve been prevented with a better plastic. The powertrain is generally reliable, but thats about it. You can eek pretty good mpg out of this car, but its a bit of a pain to do so. If great MPG is your priority, look elsewhere, but dont worry about this car burning holes in your pocket.

  "RED ROCKET" - 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
  By BRIAN JAEB - April 18 - 2:30 pm

  I was a "ford man" until I got behind the wheel and drove this car. Boy was I impressed. It handled way better than i ever imagined. Those "Ford Guys" are way behind the times with there Taurus and 500`S. Ride quility and handling have any other rode sedan beat hands down.
